Acorn Squash with Apple

Reviewed: Dec. 2, 2010

It was a good, quick recipe. I didn't find it as tasty as the other reviewers, but it was very convenient, easy, and I will probably make it again.

I loved this pie! I used the flaky pie crust recipe from this site and I mixed brown sugar per recommendations with the white sugar. I also mixed in about 1/4 cup of pecans. For the topping I also added a little bit of salt to enhance the flavor. Very good, I will make it again.

The Best Thai Coconut Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 6, 2010

This was really, really good. I completely forgot lime at the store, so I just omitted it, and I used half freeze dried mushrooms and half fresh because shiitake mushrooms are so expensive. My store also didn't have lemon grass, so I followed the paste suggestion and additionally I added a few scallions with the mushrooms to get a little more color in the soup. I also took the rice suggestion and made brown basmati instead of the regular white--delicious! Thanks for the recipe, it totally hit the spot.

Curried Squash Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009

I just made this for tonight, but it is so good, I can't stop getting it out of the fridge and getting a spoonful! The only thing I did different is put a little olive oil on the squash before baking. I was worried that it would dry out, although I didn't know for sure. It came out great, though. The only change I may make in the future is a little less red pepper, since my family and I are wimps when it comes to spicy. It's worth the little burn. Awesome, easy, and a great way to use seasonal ingredients!

Buttermilk Chess Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2008

The perfect Chess Pie. I got so many compliments, even from someone who has never cared for Chess Pie before. I am so thrilled that I have now replaced a recipe that was lost to our family when my great grandmother passed away. Thanks for posting this one!

Mom's Chocolate Meringue Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2008

Oh my goodness. I'd lost my great grandmother's recipe and needed to serve chocolate pie for Thanksgiving. I used this recipe (I substituted the new Hershey's Special Dark unsweetened cocoa powder and heaping tablespoons of the powder instead of level ones, because we love dark chocolate) and they turned out wonderful. I don't think anyone could tell that it wasn't the old recipe. The only caution I have for anyone making this recipe is follow the initial cooking instructions carefully. Medium High heat on my stove is a little too hot, but make sure it is thick and bubbly before moving on, otherwise the pie won't set right. The only other tip is make the meringue ahead of time so the pie is very hot when spreading the meringue. This keeps the meringue from shrinking and exposing the chocolate underneath.

Grandma's Corn Bread Dressing

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2008

I made this for Thanksgiving and it turned out just like my grandmother's. I doubled the recipe but not the sage, taking advice from the other reviewers, and it was delicious served with giblet gravy. Tip for leftovers: I cut the rest up in chunky squares, refrigerated a few days, then reheated in the oven after pouring melted butter overe the top . I served it in bowls with chili instead of rice and everyone loved it.
